Windows XP Home Edition - max num of concurrent users

[Zlatan]

I have a network of 10 computers with Win Xp Home
Edition. The problem I have is in the following: As soon
as I try to access the shared hard disk from the fifth
computer an error message appears telling me that I have
exceeded the number of permissions. Because this network
is used for the Intyernet cafe I need to enable all 10
computers to play games. Please help.

pro.

Windows XP Home has a limit of 5 simultaneous connections, Pro 10.
You need Windows XP Pro if you need more than 5 and 10 or less.
If you need more than 10, you need a server OS.
